I actually wish I could hear all of RC's early material for the first time right now. What a great day that would be.

I've never heard Thy Mighty Contract. I have a list of "classic" albums I'm putting off listening to. When all music has failed me, I'll turn to that list. It drives my girlfriend insane.

That policy is killing you! You should go crank "The Sign of Evil Existence" immediately.

Haha. There's a relatively small handful of albums left, because over the years I've given up and bought stuff or have gotten drunk at a friends place and threw the album on. I'm pretty strict about TMC though. It's like orgasm denial or something.

Do yourself a MIGHTY favor and toss on THY MIGHTY CONTRACT on now and add it to your "this is some of the best shit I have ever heard" list.

The only albums by Rotting Christ I do not like are Aealo and Sleep of the Angels.

There are some album of them I don't like, Sleep of the Angels, Genesis or Kronos... But I really enjoyed that Aealo, even more than Sanctus Diavolos and Theogonia. There are some moments sounding bad, but I found some really good atmospheres on it.

The only reason I ever listen to Aealo after the first few times when it came out is for the Diamanda Galas track/arrangement or whatever you want to call it. Really good stuff there. The rest of the album just doesn't grab me. I love Theogonia, though.

I like most stages of RC. Don't care too much for their early beginnings as Gindcore or whatever the term these days is. "Thy Mighty Contract" and "Non Serviam" are classics.

"Triarchy...", "...Poem" and "....Angels" are very good albums in a newer direction. "Triarchy..." being my fave of the three.

"Khronos", "Genesis" and "...Diavolos" didn't do much for me.

"Theogonia" and "Aealo" get a few spins now and then.

I am eagerly waiting for the new album to be released this year. RC, Samael, Sentenced and Tiamat are bands who took a different musical direction but kept me interested. Most of the time I lose my interest when bands make a drastic change.

My thoughts exactly...Though I haven't listened to any of their work after TMC (Which incidentally I put on today after reading this thread) Might have to rectify that situation.
I just listen to Sacriphyx for that "Hellenic black metal" sound these days instead!! :p
